extra virgin Greek olive oil
THE GROVE

  OLIVE OIL

single origin

Tombazis Olive Grove is a single origin organic extra virgin olive oil from the famous Koroneiki variety. The olives are harvested in November when they are still green, so to elevate their characteristic fresh green aromas that the Koroneiki variety is so well known for. The use of special breathable baskets, ensure that the olives remain intact . At the end of each harvest day , the harvest is transferred to the two-phase oil mill where the olive-oiling process begins at once. Our extra virgin olive oil is filtered immediately and stored in stainless steel tanks, with the addition of nitrogen, so to maintain all of its organoleptic properties intact. Our product is packaged in dark-coloured glass bottles of 100ml and 500ml to protect it against oxidation. The non refillable valve on the bottle allows for the proper flow when served.

  

The Historic Tombazis Olive Grove

  THE HISTORY

behind our label

The olive tree is indissolubly linked to Greece since antiquity. According to mythology the city of Athens took its name after a duel between the goddess Athena and Poseidon for who is going to offer the most beautiful gift to the Αthenians The gift of the goddess Athena was an olive tree planted on the rock of the Acropolis. Thus, Athena won the duel and the city of Athens was named after her. The goddess Athena is symbolized by the owl standing on an olive branch that reminds us of this ancient history. The story behind this legend reveals how important and necessary the olive tree and its fruits were for the everyday life of ancient Greeks.
